Blood VIII Fell.

There is no question about it-blood will tell-especially if it be an impure blood. Blotches, ,eruptions, pimples and boils are all symptoms of an impure blood, due to the improper action of the liver. When this inn portant organ fails to properly perform it's function of purifying and cleansing the blood, impurities are carried to all parts of the system and the symptoms above referred to are merely evidences of the struggle of
 Nature to throw of the poisonous germs. Unless her warning be needed in time, seri- ous results are certain to follow, eliminating in liver or kidney disorders, or even in con sumption. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery will prevent and cure these diseases by restoring the liver to healthy condition.

RATS DID IT,

Eugene Acker, of Danbury, keeps res- taurant and has been trying to keep clans, noticed rat hole and clam sticking at it's entrance, and this partly relieved his mind, for he had fancy that rats could be cleared out and thus the clans would be safe Then he tried to kick this particular clam away from the hole, but it did not move easily. When he examined he found the clam had caught rat that had injudiciously thrust it's tail between the open shells and had been promptly nipped. The rat catching had be- gun sooner than MT. Acker anticipated.

VALUABLE INVENTION,

Messrs. George c. Setchell and Wm. R. Page of the Page Wood Type Manufacturing company of Norwich have jointly invented, patented and put in operation a simple ma chine which promises to revoIutionize the manufacture of wood type and greatly in crease the business. This machine cuts and throws out letters at the rate of thirty-two 8 minute and may be run faster. The letters are stamped upon the wood with dies and are done more perfectly than they can be done by hand. By this machine letters as small as two-line pica may be made at the rate of ten or twelve thousand an hour and sold for one-half the present price, and large letters turned out at the rate of 5000 an hour. The product in a single hour is nearly as great as the product of their entire shop
